Fan Recast for Luke, Han and Leia for Star Wars Pre-ST/Post-OT

Fan Recast for Luke, Han and Leia for Star Wars Pre-ST/Post-OT

In the time after Return Of The Jedi, but before Kylo Ren ruined everything, Luke, Han and Leia can have stories to be told for their characters, so why not try with recasts who may look the roles?

There's some missed opportunities to me, and I'm sure to others, in the idea of these characters, and others, not getting the opportunities to be explored more in a time before the Sequel Trilogy and how that messed with their characters, in one way or another.

Some of these may have been in others fancasts, but I do think the beards for Luke and Han assist in their looks for the roles. For this, I thank God for these ideas:

Jensen Ackles as Han Solo

Han, using his reputation as a smuggler and criminal, has been working as a mole in the criminal underworld, gathering information on the activities of any imperial remnant cells. Han coming to terms with being a parent as well in the midst of this and his own insecurity at the idea of failing as a dad, fearing repeating the cycle of his own childhood. This leading him to struggle with whether or not his job, one that he's grown to think of as his way of having a feeling of accomplishment, as a man, a friend and a husband, may keep him from his child.

Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker

Luke, in this time, is working on building the Jedi Academy, raising and training children to become jedi, but seeking to avoid the mistakes of the previous era jedi by rejecting the control of the New Republic and seeking to avoid the children in his care from becoming soldiers for political causes, and training his students to understand the difference between love and attachment, as Luke trains himself to reconnect with his full identity in being the son of not just Anakin Skywalker, but Padme Amidala as well.

Yael Stone as Leia Organa-Solo

Leia has followed in the footsteps of her biological mom and adopted dad in working as a senator within the New Republic, fighting for the justice of those in need and supporting her brother's separation of the jedi from the republic. The reveal of her biological connection to Darth Vader has caused problems for her in the senate, those who oppose her trying to use it to justify shutting her out, it leading to her having to confront her familial identity as well, struggling to forgive the man who caused so much pain and loss, to herself and others.

Rebecca Ferguson as Mara Jade

Mara Jade, the former leader of the New Second Generation of Inquisitors, was brainwashed to specifically operate under Emperor Palpatine's command. Operating under her final orders given by Palpatine, she seeks to assassinate Luke Skywalker.

Thoughts? Please give them!

Im with it buddy. Honestly if they can get KK out of there we could just make a new ST post Return of the Jedi. That's best case scenario for this IP that continues to take giant L's creatively. I feel like the Leia fan cast could be better but I've only seen her in Orange is the New Black.

I am absolutely HORRIBLE at fan-casting, however, I do enjoy reading other's choices & their thoughts behind them...! ☮️🙂

I do like Jensen Ackles as Han Solo but it really should be Alden Ehrenreich imo.

Swap out Jensen for Alden and you've got a deal. I'll draw up the paperwork, lol.

I actually really wanna see this. I wonder if Fav and Filoni will recast them for The Mandalorian and Grogu. I would be hyped as a mother[frick]er if they did. When they recast Han Solo, I wasn't into it, but after everything we've had since? I say bring it on. Recast. Bring the characters back and lets F-ing Go!

Switch Ackles with Anthony Ingruber and I’d say that’s pretty solid

t this point, I’d prefer animated adventures since the original trilogy cast is either dead or old, but this *could* work.
